I've got the whole animated series and the movie too.

A masterpiece of condensed storytelling every episode perfectly paced and not a single second of screen time wasted.

The live action version has a very large act to follow, I look forward to seeing how it pans out :-)

Best obscure line from the original series: "Lesson, lesson: If you see a stranger, follow him!"

Just for the uninitiated: "cowboys" are bounty hunters. The story is about a trio of bounty hunters. There is actually a child on the team later on, as well as a dog, but it seems only the dog made this cut.

Point is, if you intend to play a bounty hunter in SC, you'll want to see the rendition of what is pretty much a Carrack with a Gladius and a Kartu-Al flying off it, each owned by one of the three main characters. The resemblance of the Bebop to the Carrack is surprising.

im nervous about it not many anime have gotten justice in live action films.... But who knows maybe this will be a decent one.
Nervous is an understatement it's like producers see a cash cow opportunity and jump on it without even bothering to understand the source material.

This looks to have advantages over other anime conversions. They're starting with fabulous characters that can each stand on their own. Doesn't matter if they take away Faye's stunning shape--the character can survive it. Also it appears they're going for the hyper-reality look used in Sin City and The 300. That will throw the entire thing into crazy hard to judge land, and maybe get it an objective judgement. It's a much more mature story than Speed Racer, so has more chance of a good conversion, IMHO. And the original director and musical composer are collaborating.

yep then we get this garbage movie with terrible CGI and we want to die inside and feel ruined for life. Don't worry live action pokemon is comming one day.(Not the detective pokemon that one actually was really good)

Looks interesting, I will watch for sure.

They also announced Witcher season 2, including thumbs up for season 3.

Several things to watch soon.
